TEST REQUEST: catalyst-2.0_rc50

This should be the last release candidate of catalyst before
2.0 is
made.  I plan on leaving 2.0 in package.mask for a few days
after I
release it, simply to give people more time to notice the
warning
messages that 2.0_rc50 will give.  The reason for this is
simple.  This
is the last version of catalyst that will use a different
SLOT for
installing.  The final catalyst 2.0 version will completely
supersede
catalyst 1.x entirely, and catalyst 1.x will be removed from
the tree
once 2.0 goes stable.  This also means that I have a good
bit of work
ahead of me to get the online documentation fixed before 2.0
goes
stable.

Anyway, I would appreciate it if everyone who has been using
catalyst
will test this newer version as soon as possible and report
any bugs you
find immediately so I can expedite getting 2.0 to a final
state.

Thanks,

Err... honestly, it's too much to explain.  The newer
catalyst has
*tons* more features.  The feature set that came from
catalyst 1.x has
been tested quite thoroughly.  Only the newer features
really need heavy
testing.

For "simple" builds, few changes, if any, were
required.  For more
complex changes, days or even weeks of work was required to
make the
switch.  To be honest, I am surprised to hear that *anyone*
on this list
is using catalyst 1.x anymore.  We haven't added any code
to it in over
a year now, including any bug fixes, and have recommended to
everyone to
use catalyst 2.x instead.

Maybe it's just, that 1.x is too good to update... 

You know, we (as an example) are in the middle of a
commercial venture, and we update, when an update is
_required_ , not when it's nice to have...
I guess you know what they say about updates. Updates means
new code with new bugs, which require new
bugfixes. 1x is far from perfect, but it works for us...

Ciao,
Andreas
